'European Silver Collectors.........'Deal' of the Week

For a limited time, I am offering a 'Double CD' that I recently completed containing 2 Digitized Versions of the Rare and Out of Print 166 Page, world famous 'Dictionary of Silver Hallmarks & Silversmiths' (Dictionnaire des Poincons d'Orfèvrerie). I am also offering the Book in a Hard Cover version, see my Books.

Europeans still consider this Dictionary to be the 'Bible'' of French Silver Hallmarks and Silversmiths.

This Dictionary contains the Hallmarks of all of the most important & illustrious French & European Silversmiths including, CHRISTOFLE, PUIFORCAT, ODIOT, GALLIA, WMF etc., as well as a great many lesser known and not so famous French Silversmiths.

The Dictionary was professionally Photographed page by page at the highest resolution possible at which point Optical Character Recognition (OCR) was performed and thoroughly gone over to ensure no mistakes in the Translation were made.

Through this Digitized process the Dictionary is searchable as your Computer now sees the Dictionary as Word Text and not just a series of illustrations.

The Dictionary is made available in the Adobe PDF Format thus ensuring maximum compatibility with just about any Computer, Netbook or eBook Reader. In addition the Dictionary can be viewed on iPhones, iPads, Android devices and in short any device that can read a PDF.
Fantastic and easy to Use.

You will Receive a CD with 2 PDF's, 1 fully Searchable with Medium Resolution Graphics and the other with extremely High Resolution Graphics which allows for the Hallmarks to be Zoomed and studied in the most intricate of detail. This Dictionary is out of print and remains an essential, practical and an indispensable Resource for any Silver Collector and you can Carry it with you anywhere.
